About the NDSS Program
Negotiation decides margin, delivery dates and working relationships long after the meeting ends. The program gives teams a structured method for preparing positions, reading the other side, trading value instead of conceding it, and closing agreements that hold. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual for the team, participants negotiate live cases drawn from their own supplier, client and internal discussions, and leave with a preparation pack they can reuse on every deal.
What You Will Learn
- Prepare negotiation positions with clear limits and targets
- Identify interests behind the other party's stated position
- Apply trading tactics that protect value
- Handle pressure tactics without damaging the relationship
- Structure concessions so every move buys something back
- Lead team negotiations with defined roles
- Evaluate outcomes and record lessons for future deals
